contorting yourself into the shape you think is most deserving of love will lead to you resenting those who love you. you also deny them the opportunity to know and love you truly. being our best true self is an act of vulnerability, and curation.

assume that at least some of the people you know at this moment in time, you will know for the rest of your life. you don’t know which ones. believing that there will be long term interdependent social circles and relationships vs transience is important
